I, for one, am sick and tired of it, and thousands of children are in physical danger because of what you are doing.

It does not appear so, based on what we are reading today in The New York Times, and seeing from numbers from your own office.

This massive surge began when you came to office. In your first year in office, first year, there was a 342 percent surge of unaccompanied children across the border.

Why do we not start with why you enabled it? Can we start with that? Why is it that you have enabled 345,000 children to be smuggled across this border and then sent into the hands of modern-day slave traders?

You are not going to take any responsibility for the indentured servitude and exploitation of children that is happening on your watch.

That is your responsibility.

4 months ago, the U.S. Senate, and then the U.S. House, came together to ban the app TikTok on all Federal Government devices--on tablets, on phones, on computers--on Federal contractors and their devices as well. We acted, just a few…

I would just say in conclusion that the security risk from TikTok led us to ban it 4 months ago for the Federal Government. The facts cannot be denied, which is why the TikTok CEO had nothing to say a week ago. He could not deny any of…

I have never before heard on this floor a defense of the right to spy. I didn't realize that the First Amendment contained a right to espionage. The Senator from Kentucky mentions the Bill of Rights. I must have missed the right of the…

let me just finish with this, that the Senator from Kentucky decried the collection of personal data by American social media companies--and he is right to do that, by the way. I am concerned about that, too, no doubt. But he pointed out…

yesterday the Nation witnessed a murderous rampage at an elementary school, a small Christian school in Nashville, TN. Tragically, three small children, 9 years old, lost their lives; three employees of this school lost their lives. And…

this body has spent to date $113 billion on the war in Ukraine and counting. Yet we do not have any direct oversight of any of the money that is being spent. My amendment is very simple. Let's create 1 government watchdog--not 2, not 3…

I would just say, in response to my friend's point about there being 60-plus reporting requirements already in place, that is part of the problem. When everybody is in charge, nobody is in charge. Currently, the oversight requirements are…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Covenant School Shooting

I call up my amendment No. 40 and ask that it be reported by number. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report. The bill clerk read as follows: The Senator from Missouri [Mr. Hawley], proposes an amendment numbered 40. (The amendment is…

do I have any time left? The PRESIDING OFFICER. You have 49 seconds.

I am looking for a date. I am looking for a date. You are exhausting my patience now.

I just humbly submit to you that allowing China--getting procurement of electric equipment made in China and allowing it to be integrated into our grid is a bad idea.

Oh, my gosh. I feel like I am on the Senate floor. This is like a filibuster.

I am just wondering why would we allow China, a country that is suspected of numerous cyberattacks against us, to supply major components for our electrical grid.

private companies are choosing to invest in China and manufacture there, and yet they do not reveal where they are making their products.
